The BGHS Band, Choir, and Orchestra performed for their largest audiences of the year with students in grades 4-8 attending concerts today.
BGISD students may begin playing instruments and singing in choir as 4th graders. Attending the annual school-day concert gives the younger Purples a chance to see and hear opportunities in their near future!
More than 250 BGHS students participate in the Performing Arts.
Thanks to teachers and staff in all schools, and a special thanks to the Transportation Department for making this day possible!

Balloons Over Parker-Bennett Curry!
Based on the book “Balloons over Broadway” by Melissa Sweet, which tells the story of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, PBC kindergarten students had their own version of a balloon parade through the school halls.

The project is expected to begin in late spring 2026 and includes adding spaces for band, orchestra, choir, drama, science classrooms and labs, as well as a multipurpose room for technology and media. The additions are planned for construction from the existing school toward the bus loop, creating an additional hallway inside the building. These additions also allow classrooms to be repurposed in the current hallways.
The school’s front office, cafeteria, kitchen and food storage areas will be renovated and expanded. And finally, the media center and main hallways of the school will be renovated, with improvements to acoustics and the removal of lockers in the halls.
The goal is for the BGJHS project to be completed by the start of school in August 2028.
